Its been 3 weeks, and now I can say that Nathan is officially transitioned to his toddler bed! I was dreading the transition, but when my mom brought the bed to our house and set it up he wanted to sleep in it. We did have a relapse where he wanted to sleep in the crib, but we are back in the bed.
Nathan surprisingly has not gotten out and destroyed his room. For nap time, when I lay him in his bed he always asks to go "in there (points to crib)." But he concedes to stay in his bed. When he wakes up from his nap, he is still the grumpiest child ever, but he stays in the bad and cries for me to come get him and hold him while he wakes up.
At nighttime he sings to himself when he falls asleep. This week, in the morning (around 6:45) he gets up, turns on the light, and plays in his room. This morning he played an exciting game of "put all of my toys in my bed." I love that we finally got a video monitor.
I do wish that our toddler bed had better guardrails, when I check in on Nathan at night he is usually at the foot of the bed (why he doesn't use his pillow I don't know) and crammed up against the wall. I think he likes the crib because he can cram himself into a corner. Oh well, I guess that just means we will make the transition to the twin bunk beds with a big guard rail sooner than planned.
